    Tough debut. No other talls up forward means Jack will get the best defender. C'mon match committee, put in Campbell if for no other reason than to give Jack more opportunity!!

      If I'm being real (of course I'm being real) I don't think I ever need to see that again.

        I'm not sure I get this? Should we have played Campbell alongside of Redpath or instead of him?

          Think he meant play both
          If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

            Thought he tried really hard in a game that could not have been worse for a first game player (let alone a tall forward)

            He crashed packs and provided a contest on the wettest of days. Thought the first quarter he gave to much space to Taylor and he clearly got that message at 1/4 time

            I would leave him in for next week against the suns and see how he goes on a dry deck.

            Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

              Thats going to be hard to do. To me, it has to be one or the other.

                Play him next week. He competed well and was even effective in the ruck.
                I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                  I thought given the conditions he did a pretty good job. There was probably only 1 mark you'd expect him to take that he didn't, but he crashed packs, made his presents felt, hurt a couple of people, and worked hard defensively. He should've played last week under the roof.

                    Agree with posters saying give him a go next week. He competed well. Really hope the coaches do not drop him after one match in horrid conditions.

                    Our day will come
                    And we'll have everything.
                    We'll share the joy
                    Just like '54 again.

                        I wonder if Jones would benefit with Jack in the side. Jones plays HF and Jack at FF then Minow has a rest at FF and Jack goes to HF and Jones in the ruck.
                        Would it work?

                        The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

                          Jones would still get the best defender, wouldn't he?

                          Why wouldn't you ruck Redpath instead of Jones?
                          More of an In Bruges guy?

                            From Macca's presser it sounds as though he will play next week

                                Was pretty happy with what Jack did. IMO Macca decided that this game was one of the biggest tests you'd get in modern football, and would show Jack where he needs to get to. Was it ideal conditions for him, not a chance, and i think that was reflected in the way THawk influenced the game (or lack of).
